Under the Gabled Green

This full-gut renovation transformed an underwhelming primary suite into a richly layered sanctuary. The original bedroom ceiling, once flat and disproportionate to the room’s scale, was reimagined as a cathedral structure—elevating the volume and spirit of the space. We uncovered and utilized dead space above to craft a vaulted ceiling adorned with V-groove boards and exposed faux beams, lending a timeless architectural texture that feels both historic and grounded.

The adjoining layout was completely reconfigured to introduce a bespoke flex space — now serving as a serene home office, primary laundry, mudroom, and reading nook. Paneled white oak ceilings lend a quiet, rustic character, while herringbone brick floors anchor the space with warmth and utility. A concealed coffee station, seamlessly integrated into the millwork, adds a layer of thoughtful luxury to support daily rituals.

In the hallway, new espresso-toned white oak floors are bordered with a subtle pattern that echoes the overhead ceiling detail, reinforcing a sense of continuity and craftsmanship throughout. The ensuite bath fulfills the client’s desire for a spa-like experience, with layered neutrals, natural stone, and fine textures that evoke calm without austerity.

Every detail—from the fluted oak vanities to the handpicked drapery — contributes to an atmosphere of quiet luxury and livable refinement.
